Which of our 8 starters would make the best closer?

Because we're clearly not as sharp as you -
Let me re-aim the question. Would you want a bullpen (other than a long reliever) full of guys who couldn't pitch back to back?
-
Are you thinking that a team's closer shouldn't be expected to go two days in a row? That it would be ok if a pitcher expected to anchor the back of the bullpen is unavailable the day after appearing in a game? Has that ever been true of a championship caliber team?

Szymborski: The Orioles Are Running Out of Lineup Spots

Gotta say... I certainly didn't see Mateo with an 800 OPS. Heck, I didn't think he would be 700+. Gonna be tough to take his ABs away if he stays in this range. -
Kimbrel is our closer. He has to be able to go back to back. If he can't, Elias has to find someone who can close games back to back, either someone already in the organization or through trade.
-
I'm thinking another reliable shutdown reliever or two. Maybe one can be a closer to push Kimbrel to the setup role.
-
Being used on back to back nights is more of a health thing right? Kimbrel's poor showing yesterday didn't appear to me to be about being used back to back. It seems more to me about him just not being elite anymore.

My dad had tickets for game 6 behind the O's dugout. Game 5 was literally the only time I ever wanted the O's to lose in my entire life.

Don't quote facts to me. You'll only confuse me.

Honestly, he's looking like he doesn't want to be removed from the rotation
